[SFDXA] LOTW - 13 days and counting

[wb4ehg]

Sorry, just a slight correction.

I have to know MY limitations when working CW or a fast contest, lifting 
weights, ...

Our organizations, hams, politicians and others, *need to know theirs*.

And WE have to tell them, clearly, where theirs are. Where we will stop 
being supporters.

The ARRL is member funded. Businesses that are on the stock market are 
responsible to their share holders.

The ARRL is responsible to us. To tell US what is going on, to fix it. 
We pay them. How are they different from any other company we buy 
from/invest in? Depend on?

I'm truthful when I say that I worked in data communications (I was a 
design engineer and then manager and then systems architect, attended 
forums, architected new products (datacom, DSL, Fiber, ...) I've seen 
managers fired within a week, vice presidents fired faster than this for 
data breaches or viruses knocking out data centers or labs. Take a test 
lab off line for a week? You will be in a bread line in 2 weeks.

If no one is held responsible then there is no reason to excel, go the 
extra mile to do it right. It's easy to go to the dinners, soak up the 
liquor, schmooze with the customers and investors (been there, done it, 
a real ego trip), but you have to deliver.

I'll put it this way, if I owned stock in the ARRL, well, I would not. 
Just like I have dumped stock in previously good companies that "woke" 
up (sorry for the politics but selling investments at a loss indicates 
seriousness).

73, Rich
